I've complained about this before but having Franklin choose to kill Michael makes no sense given the story told. But in what way does the narrative make sense that he would want to kill Michael? I could see if there were some moments where it was teased throughout the 3rd act of the game that Michael may betray him simply to save himself and his family, he wouldn't want to do it but Franklin feels he needs to strike first. However I don't remember anything, and if you choose to kill Michael, you get convinced by Weston, who you hate and with little motivation. Was there any story cut that would explain this better? Did I miss anything?

The defenses from the community have been that there are reasons that happen but are very subtle. And yes I know what those were and I understood Michaels history but imo story elements like this should not be subtle if they are asking you to make a huge decision like this. They should have shown more impact on Frankiln and Michael's relationship after learning he rolled over on Trevor once before, it would have taken some of the ambiguity out of the decision. Or have Michael contemplate whether he may have to betray him eventually. I understand a game not wanting to spoon feed information but you shouldn't have to rely on deep character analysis after the fact to understand the plot. There should have been more clear reasons why you may feel compelled to pick that option but there weren't

I get that Daniel deified him and was in his feelings for a long time searching for answers about things he didn't know about him, but it always bugged me that he went to the location to get answers despite knowing that the tournament was going to resume very soon. Maybe he assumed it would just be a coffee talk and last 15 minutes and obviously he didn't expect to get kidnapped but still. Johnny was sort of right that his head wasn't in the tournament. When he got back he had nothing to tell Sam that would have made his decision seemed not as stupid as it was.

Everytime people talk about Lidge or even discuss that Pujols home run in game 5 of the 2005 NLCS, the most repeated comment for over a decade is how much that home run ruined his career and he never recovered. Why do people conveniently forget in 2008 where he was perfect in save opportunities, sub 2 ERA and helped the Phillies win a World Series. That happened after that home run. Yet people always run with that dumb Pujols narrative.

There were things I hated like the rats and the rebel missions were repetitive and can be really buggy but I found the story way more compelling than the Ireland DLC and liked the characters more. The boss fights were also much better. The Ragnarok DLC I didn’t like especially since it was simply an extension of the Asgard quest lines and i didn’t have the patience for it. I see many complain about the Paris dlc but idk, I enjoyed it more than many of the other quest lines.
